Louvre Paris, France
Hi there and welcome to my profile. My love of travel began many years ago when my father took us on a family vacation across country. We traveled from Delaware to California in the family station wagon and stopped at many amazing places. I got to see a rainbow inside the Grand Canyon, hike Garden of the Gods, ascend Pikes Peak, cross the Hoover dam, visit Reno and Las Vegas, NV, and of course Disneyland!
Since then I have been to almost every state in the United States and have traveled to 14 different countries. I'm not stopping now. After spending 3 years at Disney Cruise Line, I was hooked on cruising so I have made cruising one of my specialties and hope to share that knowledge with you. I've sailed in both the Caribbean and Europe and they are both magical in different ways.
I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes. I wish you amazing vacations and happy travels! "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list." - Susan Sontag

If you love the Seine and have the time, this is a good mode of transportation. If you are in a hurry, this is not for you. But who is in a hurry in Paris?
When you think of Paris, you think of Romance of course. What is more romantic, when in Paris than a cruise down the Seine? Well it is not just romance, it is also transportation. T...

Eiffel Tower
When you think of Paris, the first image that comes to mind for most of us is the Eiffel Tower.
A BIT OF HISTORY
The Eiffel Tower broke ground in 1887 and at an aggressive pace was completed in 1889 for the World's Fair. The builder and owner of the construction company, Gustav Eiffel was not the only person who deserves credit. It...

Normandy France D-Day Remembrance Tour - Omaha Beach Visitor Center and American Cemetery
At first, I found it hard to smile in the photos, it was such an overwhelming and somber site to see endless rows of crosses and WWII era planes tipping their wings as they flew overhead. You see my father was there, in the planes, on that day. So ...

Client Testimonials
Loved the Custom Tour Through Europe
I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with Tina and Vibrant travel! She helped us plan the perfect European vacation! She chose amazing hotels in the perfect locations, coordinated all of our transfers and transportation between cities, and recommended and arranged once in a lifetime tours and experiences. On top of all of that, she kept us up to date on all COVID requirements, tipping policies, and currency exchange information. She was also our go-to person while on vacation. When one of our travel party missed a connection and needed new airline tickets, Tina worked late into the night to get him new flights. We are so grateful, Tina! Thank you for taking care of every detail so we could actually enjoy our vacation! We will be using Tina for every vacation in the future.

First Trip to Paris
I loved working with Tina from Vibrant Travel! This summer I went to Paris and I felt like I never had to worry about the stress of planning and scheduling. Very organized and very efficient! Tina planned events based on what I wanted to see and not based on what is recommended by the general public in Paris. This trip was a life changer for me and I am so glad I had Vibrant Travel to guide me along the way. I highly recommend this company, because even though they are just starting out, you will receive personal and kind service from an amazing business woman with travel experience.
